JUNIOR HIGH BROADCASTER 1928 Commencement Y COMMENCEMENT is the name given to the concluding exercises of the college year, when degrees are conferred upon the bachelors, masters, and doctors completing their respective courses of study. It is also applied to the graduating exer- cises of academic high schools etc. The custom originated in the mediaeval universities, although it was called inception. This inception contained two things. C13 The recogntion of the graduate or new teacher by his old master and other members of his profession. KZJ The formal entrance of the newly licensed teacher upon his work by the performance of his duties. At Oxford these exercises were called Commemora- tion, and at Cambridge Commencement. This is the name by which it is known in American Colleges. In Colonial days this exercise was held in the fall at the commencement of the col- lege year. In many places the Commencement exercises in- clude only the address by the president or some distinguished educator, and the conferring of degrees. In our modern education we find our commencements are held in J une-when all the colleges, high schools, are granting their degrees and diplomas to those earning them. At each of these exercises we find the groups of graduates beginning a new step in life. Thus it is in our own Junior High School we find almost two hundred young people taking their step to the Senior High School work.
